Nachos
Aurora C.

Really good service and super fresh and delicious food. We got the nachos, tacos, and chocolate mousse. Loved everything!

Crab Cake

First time there, the doors were open with ceiling fan going. They probably haven't turned the AC on. It was very noisy, most restaurants are, anyway. The food is pretty good but they are no steak house because the steak we ordered wasn't good as expected. They serve the bread in a paper bag which is the first, I say. They have outdoor seating which may be a better choice because it was a bit hot inside.

Love the food. The service. And ambiance of Le Fat Poodle. Expensive but worth it. Give it a go. Have fun

solid 4 stars. i enjoyed every dish i tried - seems like you cant go wrong with any dish here. very cute ambiance; just didn't love the ice cream sundae dessert. enjoyed my salmon bowl - flavorful, and i ate every bite. also enjoyed the smoked salmon on latkes and steak tacos. cocktails were fine. i'd come back, but don't run back since i don't live in the area. i'm sure i'd be a repeat customer if i lived closer.

Very elegant and cozy restaurant with excellent service. We went in without a reservation, but from the looks of it, I recommend calling and making reservations because it got full quickly. The food was excellent. Our table had multiple plates and they were all good and if high quality and good taste. They also have an outdoor seating area for those good weather days and nights. Overall I recommend this place for any occasion.

Celebrated my mother's Bday here and we had a wonderful time. Excellent service- our waiter was informative and attentive. On a Monday night we thought it was going to be a pretty quiet dining experience. Little did we realize that it was like the Real Housewives of OG. It was GNO central. Nonetheless, as the noise level rose, the service and the quality of food rose as well. Really wonderful dining experience with a great selection of appetizers, specials and entrees.

Fat! Peter and DJ at Le Fat Poodle  in Old Greenwich. DJ's Birthday  today!

DJ and I had a great BDay celebration (for DJ) at Le Fat Poodle. I had the "Marry Me" chicken which was done to perfection the Millionaire Bacon it comes with was amazing (Had to look this up... never heard of that before...). The setting is cozy, casual and upscale and the service was great - they did a little birthday sparkler thing and surprisingly, the response was wonderful, and didn't seem forced or fake from both staff and table neighbors. Really a classy place. Coming back... I just gotta give my wallet a rest... Seriously though, it is worth it - the whole experience.

If Yelp should develop a "Critic's Choice" award when an establishment hits all points and goes above and beyond for service, food and setting in one quickie lunch, Le Fat Poodle earns it from me. We found a parking space in front, there is a back entrance which has a lot. There's a ramp from the front door to the patio, making it very easy for mother to access our table in their attractive, blue and white outdoor area punctuated with hanging ivy foliage wall planters and (real, not plastic) fern containers under a large tent. Attractive, comfortable, clean and beachy. Mother was helped down the ramp by the maître d', and when her napkin was blown off the table our waiter immediately returned with heavier cloth. It's those little moments that keeps my ticker pumping and maintains it's faith in humanity. We ordered the bone marrow with onion jam (which I hadn't seen since Michael Gennaro's, RIP). Two large pieces perfectly cooked with enough toasted bread and jam for both of us, and a salt cellar jogged mother's memory of a recipe she'd brought back from France. "Maybe I'll see if I can find it," she said.* We shared lobster sliders (cute idea, made with lobster chunks and excellent slaw) and a crab cake. The first thing I do with crabcakes is to examine if there is crab (not krab/breadcrumbs, etc.), and this one passed muster to the max. The truffle fries were small and moist on the inside with just the right amount of crunch. You know fries are exceptionally good if ketchup isn't required. Desserts sounded wonderful, and I'll try them once I lose my Covid weight (oh yes, it will happen). The maître d' circled with tea, water or just to see how things were going. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. It's a totally different establishment from my last experience. *If cooking means combining more than 2 ingredients, she doesn't.'

Had brunch here today. I love the decor, the music and the ambiance of this place. Such a good spot in the neighborhood. Most importantly the food and the service won't disappoint you. Great quality French food. I love exploring new places and restaurants, so if you're in the neighborhood check this out.

Sweet Pea's Cafe is busy and buzzing on the weekends! There will likely be a wait to sit, but that…read morejust goes to show the success of this restaurant. My suggestion is to order your coffee at the register to-go while you're waiting to be seated. It makes the time fly by! The cafe is cozy and welcoming. The decor is warm and celebrates coffee, a true highlight of the restaurant. Their pastries look inviting and truly decadent. The ladies behind the register and server at our table are all so pleasant and helpful. Our server, Mariana, was very knowledgeable of the menu and suggested options to us for specific food allergies. Mariana is kind, helpful, and really makes you feel taken care of. Their coffee beans have a perfect acidity and chocolatey note, making the coffee taste flavorful, rich, and smooth. Both coffee and espresso drinks are served to perfection. Their hot drip coffee is very smooth and may be one of the best coffees I've had. I also love the Maple Cinnamon Latte with almond milk. It is complex in flavor and perfectly sweetened to my liking. Sweet Pea's is popular for their pão de queijo, a Brazilian cheese bread, which is gluten free. It is the BEST pão de queijo I've tried. It's perfectly salty, buttery, and fluffy. Just wow. They have many options for sandwich fillings with this bread, both savory and sweet. The Old Farmer's Breakfast is a hearty dish. The scrambled eggs are fluffy and seasoned well. The bacon is crispy and makes the dish have the perfect balance of savory and sweet. The gluten free pancakes are flavorful but slightly drier than an average pancake, so do dunk them in a little maple syrup to give them that just-right texture. If you are gluten free, it is worthy to note that cross-contamination is possible from their pancake grill. The dish is so filling and recommended! I would absolutely come back to try more dishes and coffee creations.

Popped in here on a cozy fall day and it was perfect! I got the pumpkin pie latte half sweet,…read morescrambled, and super cinnamon bun (forgot to get a pic). I can't quite put my finger on why, but that was probably the best scrambled eggs I've ever had. My friends got the omelette and two pao de queijos, and they both said they were great. You seat yourself or you can order at the counter.

Inside, the café is clean, inviting, and has a warm atmosphere that's perfect for grabbing a coffee or catching up with a friend. I ordered a large cold brew with vanilla syrup, and it was easily the highlight of my visit. Smooth, refreshing, and nicely balanced without being overly sweet. I would absolutely order it again. For food, I tried the Breakfast Burrito, although it's really closer to a Crunchwrap than a traditional burrito. It comes with scrambled eggs, bacon, peppers and onions, cheddar cheese, avocado mash, tater tots, and lima crema. On paper, it sounded like a home run. Unfortunately, the execution did not live up to the description. It ended up being extremely greasy, mushy, and surprisingly lacking flavor despite having so many ingredients. I kept expecting each bite to get better, but it never really did. It was one of those dishes that had a lot of potential but just missed the mark. My cold brew and breakfast came to $23.84 with tax, which felt a little expensive for a breakfast wrap and coffee. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the coffee because it was excellent. As for the food, I'd probably try something different next time. If the kitchen can match the quality of the coffee, this place could be a real standout.
